I totally agree! Educating the target audience is really important. Way too
often the target audience's view has already been manipulated by what they
have already seen, heard, or experienced.
Granted I think Banshee is a great alternative to iTunes and personally I
even use it since it's hooks up to Amazon MP3. However, there aren't very
many programs that you can say they are a real alternative. Using Shotwell
or F-Spot instead of Lightroom is a great example. Shotwell is a great
application, but it's are nowhere near a real alternative to Lightroom from
a photographers perspective. So I think we have to be careful about which
programs we consider to be alternatives.

Regards,

John

But the user needs to know!  This is the whole point.  And more often
than not there is an excellent alternative.  Today, my son-in-law
brought his shiny new iPod Shuffle around.  We plugged it into my PC and
it 'just worked'.  He was very impressed with Banshee - took to it
better than iTunes.  Now, iTunes is marketed as the ONLY software to
work the iPod range.  We need to have all the information out there.
But I think I've said all of this before.
